Awesome challenge! The fact that an AP augment is being given away is a BIG step in closing the gap between buyers and non-buyers. Yes, I know you don't have any control over which augment it is. Yes, being able to get an augment isn't going to all of a sudden make the game completely fair for everyone. But, this is definitely something which I hope continues, because it can potentially mean that it is no longer a matter of luck, but of time before a non-buyer can gain access to these rather rare augments. The hull augments are fantastic too. It's great that we aren't getting just heat or just stun immunity but both. I do recall that players wanted a bit more theme to challenges, so the spring paint is a nice addition. I'm not particularly fond of either of the paints, but the AP turret augment more than makes up for it.

I would not even use that Augment. I'd use Mortar or Harpoon.

After we complete three daily missions, I imagine some feature where we can spend 2000 crystals to open three more missions. Then player could earn more stars per day, however the number of stars have to be twice as less than the total stars earned after completing the first three daily missions.

Except... all us peasants who do not have AP immunity will get wasted by all the players that just obtained it from the Challenge.

Not sure that is "closing the gap" since the buyers are more likely to have the immunity.

Well, the point is, this challenge gives you an AP turret augment. To get one earlier, you'd have to pay much larger sums. Now, however, you could just use 500 tankoins you got from doing previous challenges to get it (or buy 400 tankoins, complete the challenge and get it), along with a whole bunch of other rewards. As for the immunity, I've seen quite a few players running around with Viking's AP immunity, and I imagine as time goes by there will be more AP immunities given away too.

 That's besides the point. This quite possibly opens the floodgates for even more rare turret augments in the future, which means that non buyers will only need to wait longer to get what they want (and not by waiting to open a few containers every so often)

I hope that one day i will see mysterious shot effect for vulcan in the challenge.

You missed the point.

F2P tankers can't obtain the gold tier every challenge.  And "buying" TKs makes us buyers - which we obviously are avoiding.

We can get Gold Tier on 1 in every 5 challenges, possibly 4 if we scrounge another 100 TKs from weekly mission containers.

As for Viking AP immunity - one of my accounts does not use Viking and the other did not have 500 TKs during that Challenge.

It's true, but I don't prefer to waste 2 months from my life just waiting for a battle pass. If I really care about this I will pay with $ instead of waiting two months

And I think most of F2P couldn't resist or being a patient for a two months without spending their crystals and tankoins completely. Some of them (and it's a large portion of them) couldn't maybe even gathering 100 tankoins before spending them in a meaninglessly things like Flag paints.

Well obviously, Tanki wants to promote people to buy their products and so they're more likely to take better care of buyers. If you're not buying, then you're going to be at a disadvantage compared to people who do buy. That's not something that'll be eliminated I don't think, because Tanki is free to play. I do agree that some of these things could be better balanced though.

What I mean is, imagine you're an F2P tanker who mains Hammer. You really want Hammer's AP augment. Everytime you get supermissions which give ultra containers, you do it in the hope you get Hammer AP, yet container after container, you never do. Now, you have a chance to save up your tankoins and get the augment of your dreams. Might take some time, but it's more likely than not a certainty that you'd be able to.

Well of course, buying is the easy way to get it. If you want it badly then you have to buy it, but at least it's an option now.

magmum + wasp OD + blaster drone is great for multiple splash kill.

[Sparkle 31]

Does magnum AP have reduced damage like railgun AP or has any extra recharge time? I haven't done any challenge yet and I wanna know if magnum AP is worth it.

This is the downside of Magnum AP:

Quote

AP inactive for splash damage

 

[wild001 1,422]

AP magnum wont rotate horizontally right? that may be the downside as well, unlike Harpoon, Adrenaline, Stock

while 7s AP still useful in 1 vs 1. best use with hover hull.

[Okami 3,041]

Finally I don't have to use that ugly Titan XT :D

[numericable 2,375]

Got thunder legacy, after opening 23 skins containers out of 30 i still didnt receive freeze xt, my favorite

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I have enough Tankions to buy the gold tier for this challenge.

That's what I did. I got 19 standard contains, plus 1 skin container.
